World News – GB – Only three days between Lukaku’s Man Utd exit and Maguire’s arrival

However, while one has sailed to conquer new lands, the other risks running aground

And if their respective fortunes continue on the same course at Wembley today, a man greeted as a potential savior could find himself written off by some as a football shipwreck

While Maguire arrived as the world’s costliest defender, they so sorely missed the leader of Old Trafford, it was the opposite with Lukaku

Still, there are many who think that marking the Belgian as a United flop is wrong given his record of 42 goals in 96 games.

A 37-to-54 striking ratio at Inter Milan – and matching Ronaldo’s original record for the club’s most successful debut season – shows just how powerful the 27-year-old striker remains

Maguire’s first campaign at Old Trafford was not a nightmare He played every minute and all defensive fouls were attributed to the absence of the right partner

But not anymore A poor first game against Crystal Palace and an equally disappointing league game at Brighton had already put the £ 85million man under fire

Still, it was last week’s home humiliation against Tottenham with six goals that saw pundits and punters tear him to shreds Much like Spurs had done

So, what an irony that the man is considered a misfit could have taken Maguire’s season to new depths this afternoon

When Lukaku is on his game, few attackers on the planet are so difficult to stop

Everton fans are still talking about the day he single-handedly destroyed Chelsea with an FA Cup masterclass

In contrast, Maguire looked at the shadow of the player who returned from Russia two years ago as one of the heroes of the World Cup in England

A lack of pace, pulling out of position and overtaking too easily are just three of the areas where his critics have had a day in the field

With one of the game’s most energetic forwards trying to highlight all three today, there couldn’t be a better time for 27-year-old Maguire to take over
